▬▬▬▬▬▬ • Appearance Information • ▬▬▬▬▬▬

Hair Color and Style
Victoria has chest-length golden-blond hair that is highlighted naturally. It is usually parted down the middle, although on occasion it is parted slightly to the side. 
Victoria is not a fan of overly-complicated hairstyles. She prefers simply leaving it down or putting it up in a bun, albeit haphazardly. Occasionally she'll put in in pigtails or a ponytail. 

Eyes
Vicky has rather large, almost doe-like eyes that are hazel in color. In her opinion, her eyes are her best feature. They hold a certain, childishness that is sometimes very welcoming to see. 

Skin Tone and Complexion
Victoria has a fair complexion and sensitive skin, which means she never tans...just burns. She has no freckles or birthmarks and has to take care of her skin. So it's usually clear of blemishes. 

Height, Weight, and Figure
Victoria stands at around 5'6" ft and weighs around 127 pounds. She has a slender build and has hardly come into her curves (as of year 4). Her chest is rather average, a simple 34B. Victoria has yet to get a body that is flauntable and is occasionally teased for this.

Scent
Due to the sensitivity of her skin, she is very careful when using anything scented. So usually, she doesn't have a distinct smell. Occasionally, she gives off the aroma of cinnamon and apples, her favorite combination of anything!

Clothing Style
When not in her Hogwarts Uniform, Victoria has a rather vintage sense of fashion. She gets teased for her rather 'grandma-ish' clothing, but she doesn't mind. 
Victoria enjoys wearing knee-length dresses that are either a solid color or has some type of print. She'll usually pair this with flats and a cardigan, occasionally stockings. 

Scars, Piercings, and Tattoos
Victoria has only the standard lobe piercing on both ears.
▬▬▬▬▬▬ • Personality Information • ▬▬▬▬▬▬

Personality
Despite being a Slytherin, Victoria is neither as bold or as brash as her fellow house-mates. She prefers keeping to herself if possible and is more of an observer. She's a tad shy and can be very hesitant in using her words. Upon looking at her, you wouldn't expect that this girl had a single mean bone in her body, but she does. Coming to Hogwarts for the first time, she wouldn't have hurt a fly. But her House gave her little choices than to either toughen up or go home. She chose the first option. 
Although, she isn't mean to everyone and is actually considerably nice if you do not offend her. Victoria can be rather childish and grows rather smug when she knows she's right. 
Being shy, Victoria often stammers over her words when nervous. Even if she's called out to simply read a sentence from a book, she'll stammer despite being an avid and talented reader and writer. 
Victoria does, however, have a limit to her shyness. For example; if you were to say something that she disagreed with, she may state her disagreement. Should you pursue in proving you're right, she would grow more and more talkative and eventually start full-out arguing. Victoria is very passionate in her hobbies and what she believes, no one can tell her other-wise, because she is 'always right' in her own opinion.

Talents
Spinning Stories
Victoria has always had a natural talent for coming up with stories from the top of her head. While this means she's an excellent writer, it also means she is an excellent liar. 

Reading
Victoria has loved reading since she picked up her first book. Over the years she has become very avid and can read at nearly record-breaking speed. 

Planning
Coming up with plans is something Victoria does well. She's usually the person a teacher would recommend you see if you needed to balance out your schedule.

Shortcomings
Socializing
Victoria has never been much of a people-person and is very aware of her inability to efficiently talk to someone without coming off as either very weird or very unable to form words. Some may think this makes her lonely, but not really. She enjoys her company.

Bravery
Victoria is definitely not the one to rush into a fight head-on. If there is a way to avoid it altogether, she'd choose that path. Definitely not a Gryffindor, and is pretty sure she'll never have the stalwart bravado of most people.

Friends

Biography

Simply put, Victoria was an accidental bastard child. The result of a one-night fling, her mother unknowingly had been impregnated and nine months later, little Vicky was born. 
According to her mother, Victoria was born with the largest and bluest eyes she had ever seen and had barely cried. Melody knew her daughter was going to be a naturally quiet girl.  Thankfully for Vic's mother, Victoria grew to look more and more like her than her unknown father. 
Victoria started showing magical prowess at around the age of four or five and her mother was ecstatic to see that Victoria would end up being a witch like herself. Unaware of her muggle-father, Victoria was raised to believe her father was a wizard and her mother never bothered to correct her on it. 
As a very young girl, Victoria enjoyed reading pop-up books and often would giggle quietly over the silly rhymes. She was also known to destroy the books she didn't like-via her ripping the book to shreds. When she learned to write correct sentences, Victoria began writing her own stories and would happily deliver them to her mother. The stories were usually about a prince rescuing a princess, and all of that lovely stuff.
When Victoria received her Hogwarts acceptance letter, she cried. She didn't want to leave home for some unknown school. Her mother comforted and persuaded her to attend. Needless to say, Victoria got onto the train and was off. 
Upon her being sorted, she remembered the Sorting Hat taking the longest time in sorting her. She was finally sorted into Slytherin and gladly welcomed into the House of Green and Silver. 
The first year went by easily enough, but Victoria was insanely shy and had only spoken to one person.

The Second Year went by a bit rockier. Her House-Mates were generally a lot meaner and would tease Victoria about how quiet she was, and how baby-ish she was. The teasing made her cry and as she left Hogwarts at the end of the year, she promised to toughen up.
Third year was definitely better, people took to only occasionally teasing her and she simply ignored them. It was this year that she took to having a notebook with her at all times. This notebook was something she poured her heart into, not as a diary, but as a storybook. Little stories displaying simple emotions filled the pages. This notebook was discovered by her house-mates Crabbe and Goyle and after relentlessly reading aloud and mocking Victoria, they ripped the notebook up and tossed it aside. Emotionally distraught, Victoria ended up hiding in the lavatory and crying.
Only time can tell what the next few years will bring...

__________________________________
Love Interest:
Draco Malfoy.

Victoria has always had a very girly-crush on Draco Malfoy. It was more school-girl than anything, but she couldn't help but be fascinated by the blond-lad. Since he was so mean, she often took to just admiring him from afar and was often the subject of his bullying.
For awhile, she got over her crush and focused more on the Boy Who Lived, who just generally interested her as a person. But later on she went right back to fawning over the proclaimed 'Slytherin Prince'. 

One interaction they had was when Draco was telling his opinion that went strictly against Victoria's. The girl promptly interrupted him and began correcting him and pointing out where he was wrong. He ended up getting angry and insulted her. She turned really red, both from anger and embarrassment and had to leave the room.
Needless to say, she started biting her tongue around him.
